Messrs. w. E. Babbitt of st. Adams and
| William Hale of Essex Junction, engineers
of the road; Roadmaster Bean, Conductor
Frank w. Flint and others from out of
town were among the attendants. AT the
| opening of the exercises the company
formed into two long lines, making two
sides of a triangle, Mr.. Howe standing in

ground and as Mr.. Howe lifted his shovelful
of earth picture was taken. Thereupon
Mr.. Howe deposited the earth, and was i'm

the backsmith's trade, which he did not
give up wholly till some twenty years
ago. Mr.. Howe was many times a select
